Chapter 155: Blood stained Pengcheng

In the 13th year of Qianyuan, on the evening of July 15th, Pengcheng was as quiet as usual, but at this time the Long Mansion was brightly lit. The Chu General Longchuan was wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, and the personal guards who had been following Longchuan were all around.

Longchuan looked at the stars and the bright full moon in the sky, and murmured: "After tonight, I will be the leader of the country of Da Chu."

Outside the east gate of Pengcheng, Long Ao led 30,000 troops to come here quietly. The guard of the east gate was the old subordinate of Longchuan, and he had already said hello before the rebellion.

When the guard saw Long Ao's flag, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Long Ao's 30,000 troops entered Pengcheng without any obstacles.

When the guard saw Long Ao coming in, he hurriedly walked down the city and said, "The last general met with General Long."

Long Ao nodded expressionlessly and said, "Preserve the city tonight. No matter who comes, you can't open it."

"Here!"

Thirty thousand troops walked past the silent street and made a huge sound, awakening many sleeping people. They opened the doors and windows to watch, but when they saw a group of bright and bright armies passing by, they were so scared that they quickly locked the doors and windows.

Long Ao came to Longchuan Mansion. At this time, the Long Mansion was already on high alert. Long Ao walked into the front yard and came to Longchuan, saying, "Brother, we are all ready together."

Longchuan nodded and said, "Okay, second brother, you can quickly bring a team of troops to the palace. In the name of changing defense, take over the defense in the palace. As long as you control the palace and Xiang Kuang, a big thing can be accomplished. In addition, send someone to monitor the residences of all Chinese civil and military officials in the court. If there is a resistance, kill them without any hesitation!"

"Here!" Long Ao replied.

After Long Ao left, he led his troops to the Chu Palace. The palace was still very quiet tonight, but the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.

"Who?" When Long Ao appeared in front of the palace gate, the guards on the head of the palace city discovered it and hurriedly called Long Ao.

Long Ao stopped and shouted loudly: "I am the general of Tiger Power Long Ao. I am here to change my defenses at the order of the general."

The guard quickly walked down the city, opened the palace gate, came to Long Ao, and said, "I have seen General Long, General Long, are you here to change your defense? But we have not received the order to change your defense?"

"Hmph! Could it be that this general lied to you? I came here on the order of General Long, and you can't question the general." Long Aohan said with a face.

"This..." The guard general was trembling. Longchuan and Long Ao could not afford to offend him, but he did not receive the order to change the defense. If he just handed over the palace defense to Long Ao like this, he would probably be in big trouble.

"General Long, why not do this. You can wait here for a while and General Rong Mo will tell you about Commander Tao." In desperation, the guard had to come up with this compromise.

Long Ao immediately frowned. Who was Commander Tao? Of course he knew that the commander Tao Lin, the commander of the Suwei Army, was the son of Tao Shao, the Great Honglu Tao, and was also Fan Shen's confidant. If Tao Lin knew about this, it would be troublesome.

So Long Ao made up his mind, lifted up the long sword in his hand, cut off the head of the guard with one knife, and ordered: "Give me a general to rush into the royal city."

"Kill!" The soldiers behind Long Ao rushed in and killed the place where the King of Chu was.

In the Suwei Army's garrison, Tao Lin, the commander of the Suwei Army, was sleeping. Suddenly heard the deafening shouts of killing. He was shocked and quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the door. At this time, a Suwei Army soldier came to Tao Lin and said, "Commander Tao, something is wrong. General Long Ao, the Huwei Army, led his troops into the royal city."

"What!" Tao Lin was shocked and said, "Hurry, send someone to protect the king and inform Fan Xiang, as well as gather troops and follow our commander to block Long Ao."

The Suwei Army is the Suwei Army of the King of Chu City. It is stationed in the Chu Palace in Pengcheng for many years. There are also some guards of the King of Chu in other palaces in various places. There are 20,000 Suwei Army in Pengcheng, but under normal circumstances, it is divided into four squads, each with 5,000 people.

At this time, Longchuan had already learned that Long Ao had failed to switch defense, so he no longer hesitated and led all his troops to attack the royal city.

In the side hall of the palace, since King Bintian of Chu, Fan Shen, as the assistant minister, has been staying here under the current turbulent situation. He has just finished handling government affairs and plans to take a break. At this time, the people sent by Tao Lin to send a message also arrived.

The visitor directly knocked open the gate of the side hall, which scared Fan Shen inside. Just as Fan Shen was about to scold the visitor, the visitor panted and said, "Secretary Fan, something is wrong. General Long Ao, the tiger's power, led his troops into the royal city. Now Commander Tao is already resisting and let the villain come to inform Fan Xiang."

"What! The Long brothers rebelled?" Fan Shen was shocked. He didn't expect that the Long brothers were so brave and dared to rebel. At that moment, Fan Shen immediately left the side palace and went to find the King of Chu. He knew that the problem was big. The Long brothers controlled most of the troops in Pengcheng and suddenly attacked, which would definitely be unstoppable. Now, only by protecting the King of Chu to leave the palace can there be a glimmer of vitality.

When Fan Shen came to the King of Chu's bedroom, the King of Chu had already received the news. He was stomping his feet back and forth in a hurry. Seeing Fan Shen coming, he hurriedly walked over, grabbed Fan Shen's hand, and said, "Master Fan, the Long family has rebelled, what should I do now?"

Fan Shen held the King of Chu's hand tightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic, you have ministers here."

Fan Shen is the backbone of King Xiang Kuang of Chu. With Fan Shen here, he has calmed down a lot.

At this time, Tao Lin came to the bedroom covered in blood and said, "Your Majesty, Fan Xiang, and Longchuan led troops to support Long Ao. The guards could not stop it. Please ask the king and Fan Xiang to leave quickly."

"What, what should I do?" The King of Chu, who was a little calmer because of Fan Shen's arrival, panicked again and cried anxiously.

Fan Shen patted the back of King Chu's hand, thought for a while, and said, "General Tao, there is a secret passage in the palace that leads to the outside of the city. You take the king out of the secret passage. After leaving the city, you immediately go south to Pei County and find General Zhang Di. With him there, the king's safety will be no problem."

"This...what about Fan Xiang, you?" Tao Lin saw that Fan Shen just asked him to take the King of Chu away, but did not say that he would leave together.

"Me?" Fan Shen smiled bitterly and said, "I am old and I am just a burden to follow you. Besides, the former king handed over the king and the Great Chu to me, but I made this kind of field. How could I have the attitude to leave? Take the king away, I will stay here and wait for Longchuan, a traitor, to come."

"Fan Xiang, you'd better go with me." Seeing that Fan Shen was not going to leave, the King of Chu quickly advised that Fan Shen was the teacher of the King of Chu. Since he became sensible, he has always been Fan Shen to teach him, and he loves him more than his father. How could he bear to keep Fan Shen and face these traitors alone?

Fan Shen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't persuade me anymore. I have decided. You should follow Commander Tao to leave here quickly. General Zhang Di is loyal and a trustworthy person. As long as you arrive in General Zhang Di's army, everything will be safe. At that time, the king can summon the king-supporting army to attack the Long brothers. Let's go quickly."

The shouts of killing outside were getting louder and closer, and time was not long. Tao Lin directly ordered a few soldiers of the Guards to set up the King of Chu and said to Fan Shen: "Fan Xiang, take care of yourself!"

Fan Shen nodded and said, "Go away quickly and protect the king."

Tao Lin nodded and took the King of Chu away.

After Tao Lin left, Longchuan and Long Ao brothers came here. After entering the bedroom, they found that Fan Shen was the only one, but the figure of King Xiang Kuang of Chu was not seen.

Long Chuan frowned and asked Fan Shen, "Where is Fan Shen, where is Xiang Kuang?"

"Hmph!" Fan Shen sneered: "Longchuan, I know you for more than 20 years, but I really didn't expect you to be a traitor. If I had known this day, I would have gotten rid of you."

Long Chuanhan said with a cold face, "Fan Shen, you have no chance to succeed, you should honestly tell Xiang Kuang's whereabouts. This general may be able to keep you all."

"Bah!" Fan Shen said to Longchuan: "Longchuan, stop dreaming. I will not tell you the whereabouts of the king. Please wait. The king will soon take the king-stricken army back to Pengcheng. I am waiting for you in the underworld."

"Hmph! If you don't eat toast, please punish the wine. Come and drag Fan Chan down to this general and behead him!" Longchuan said.

"Here!" Soon several people came to drag Fan Chan down.

Long Ao came to Longchuan and said, "Brother, what should I do if I can't find Xiang Kuang?"

Longchuan thought for a while and said, "You ordered someone to block the city gate. In the Dasuo City, you must not let Xiang Kuang escape."
